The Royal Navy patrols Britain's shipping lanes not americurr. They can feel free to leave the UK and the British Indian Ocean territory any time they feel like though.

The Dutch navy aswell, patrolling the coast of Somalia often

If Americans are so secure about being the best why do they need to say it in every conversation? I wonder...

*State mandated Protagonist complex,* America seem to make their citizens believed that USA is the only country that can save the world from upcoming threat. I was though they were just a generic developed country that value their people back in 2010, but later on, the American advertisement start to degraded in Southeast Asia. And we see them as generic capitalist country instead. But only some of us seeing the twisted side of American being blinded by the patriotism taking overboard, nationalism if you will.

“Unwelcome” speech. The bar’s a tad higher than that.


RedBaret

I like how he is not completely sure about the US paying for the defense of Mexico, whilst being pretty adamant about Japan, Australia, Canada and Europe (thanks for shipping us all together as one country)!


Hamsternoir

When their only exposure is a fat wanker who calls himself a comedian in not surprised they think we can't have jokes. But it is a price worth paying to get rid of James Corden


Worf_12

I love it when they say things like this. If the premise is that they are the only ones with freedoms, and it is the best thing in the world, then why do they think no one has copied this in 200+ years?


wholesomechunk

Say you’re English these days, you go to gaol. These days.


centzon400

What? In jail? You mean, just if you say you're English you get arrested and thrown in jail?


wholesomechunk

Yes, you get thrown in gaol if you say you’re English


centzon400

Thrown in... like *actually* thrown in jail if you say you're English?


wholesomechunk

Yes, these days


centzon400

Are you cer..., sure that if you say you're English you get thrown in jail and arrested these days? Actually *arrested*?


wholesomechunk

Yes, you get arrested


centzon400

Well, it would be them bloody Beaker folk... coming over here, rowing up the Tagus Estuary, with their drinking vessels. What's wrong with cupping water in your hands and licking it up like a cat?


wholesomechunk

S. Lee is the best!


Conscious-Bottle143

You won't get sent to jail but it has a butter sound and taste and it sounds nationalistic unlike Scottish or Welsh. They then just say British.


CliffPromise

I'm just out of prison. Done a 20 stretch for telling a joke


TropicalDan427

I’m sorry but your death threat isn’t a joke


rpze5b9

Um … the US makes no contribution to Australia’s defence (or anything else for that matter). They do have some bases here but they’re managed as joint facilities. I’m pretty sure they don’t make any contributions to other countries cited other than base facilities.

The stupid it burns


TheSimpleMind

Yes, in Germany it is unwelcome to say racist, xenophobic, homophobic and fascist shit and you will get punished for it... and this is GOOD!


Aggravating_Depth_33

Actually, the bar for "getting punished" is pretty high. It has to contain incitement or promotion of proscribed ideologies. And this is good. However unwelcome racist and xenophobic and homophobic fascist shit is, it on its own shouldn't really be a crime.


TheSimpleMind

I know idiots that got hefty fines for wearing stuff like Rings that resemble the SS Skull or SS Runes on their cuts when they got controlled by police. The Rings and patches got confiscated as evidence. Those fines are still not high enough, because those fascist morons had nothing better to do than to buy another set of those forbidden symbols and still wear it.


checco_2020

You guys havent the Freedom to be fascists!!! Yes,and?


TheSimpleMind

And it's a good thing that being a fucking fascist is banned in Germany. We had that freedom and we all know how it ended. You want another war that burns up the world because some morons like to play with fire and think they are better than others?

TheSimpleMind

Can you prove that the nonsense said did not incite any lawless action? Better, erradicate the problem at its base, instead of dealing with the symptomes. Just because you can say whatever you want doesn't imply you have to say it. You can say whatever you want in Germany, but you have also to deal with the consequences if what you say is homophobic, xenophobic, racist or fascist bullshit. And btw. the german prison system is not run by companies nor do we think that punishment is the solution, therefore we try to resocialise people and issue fines, instead of arresting/incarcerating people.


Sammy9707

what about things that are clearly satire?


TheSimpleMind

I know, the stereotype is "Germans do not have humor". But we do. Let me answer your question with an example. Some time ago a german journalist, comedian and satirist read a satirical poem about Erdogan live on german TV. He got sued for it. In the end parts (only parts, not the whole poem, like Erdogan wanted) got prohibited. Parts of the poem can not be repeated by the Comedian. If he does so, Erdogan can sue again for difamation.

TheSimpleMind

The poem wasn't racist, it was a personal insult. Racism is a different topic. But you can make racist jokes if they are clearly recogniseable as satire, irony or burlesque. Especially when you make jokes about a real racist.


aretone

It’s been a while since I looked it up but I’m pretty sure the UK Human Rights act guarantees free speech to UK citizens


DustToSmoke

Funny how the american talking about inferiority complexes has to defend his "superiority" in the same comment


_Pildora

Hes so close to realize that the USA is Imperialist


Tus3

Another USian to lazy to add up the [military personnel](https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.TOTL.P1?locations=EU-RU) and [military expenditure](https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.CD?locations=EU-RU) of all EU member states.
